weird man at the gym

Tweet

I hope I am not being paranoid or judgmental, but this afternoon as I was doing the treadmill, a man got on the treadmill next to what I was using. I noticed that he did not know how to use it, he was just pressing and pressing everything, so the owner/trainer came to teach him and told him nicely to wear gym shoes because he was only wearing slippers, like flip-flops. He answered that he was comfortable that way, so when he said that I thought this guy is a bit weird since the gym has specific rules for members to wear appropriate gym clothes. Those slippers were from the outside so it's dirty. As you all know, members do a lot of floor exercises so this is not acceptable. Then I noticed his clothes. He was wearing something like a basketball uniform but what struck me as strange was the fact that he was wearing two shorts. He was wearing long shorts outside and inside you could see that he had another shorts because the waistline came out of the other one. Then he went over to another equipment and just started pulling and pulling it the wrong way. He stayed there the whole time and it was obvious that it was his first time to be in a gym. What really struck me as weird were his flighty eyes. He was looking around, like observing everyone. He did not look like any normal member. He seemed to be observing members, looking around. I of course told my observation to the owner, just in case members might be careless with their belongings. I did not trust the look of that man.
